What is The Synergy Community?

Synergy:

"the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects."

Synergy is a magical indoor festival, combining musicians, Djs, Vjs, performers, and artists from all corners of creativity, joined by various proactive NGO’s and charities with the expressed aim to make a difference.

Synergy strives to create an optimistic approach in raising awareness on the many crucial issues affecting our world today. The events gather some of the UK’s leading creative multimedia organizations supported by international NGO’s such as Oxfam, Survival, Speak, WWF, Greenpeace, Arc, and Campaign Against Climate Change, to provide just the right mix of open hearted enjoyment and meaningful reflection for a new direction.


In a society in which generally perceives clubbing as a form of escapism associated with values of transgression, Synergy re-invents the clubbing experience by transforming it into an ‘educational’ tool, associating healthy values of sustainability and social justice to strong role models such as respected artists and performers of the entertainment industry. Creating awareness with more efficient means to reach directly a young audience that might be otherwise reluctant to receive, respect, and incorporate such messages when proposed by conventional sources.

Now in its 5th year running and with a wealth of experience and depth the Synergy Project continues to inspire people from all walks of life to re-evaluate their views on club culture and beyond…


The Collaborating Organizations

The Synergy Project functions as an umbrella organization, bringing together some of the most forward thinking organizations within the alternative and creative scene. By inviting a diverse spread of musical genres and productions to each event, Synergy aims to bridge the gap between musical scenes and their respective followings, whilst creating an atmosphere of inclusion and tolerance. Each event presents a good balance of core partner organisations as well as guest groups.

NGO and Charity involvement

In line with The Synergy Project’s declared objectives many Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Charities are invited to take part in the events. These organizations benefit by having access to a largely open minded crowd which otherwise might not feel inspired to take an interest in their important work. There are many different levels of possible collaboration, from the entry level of holding a simple awareness stall, up to collaborating with Synergy's production team to host an entire room.

Furthermore the Project aims to support NGOs etc in the development of creative ways to present their messages – connecting them to artists from the wider community. The Synergy Project can provide support, both organizationally as well as financially, for creative proposals that serve such purpose. NGOs are also encouraged to take on the task of managing an entire area – with the support of the Synergy Project team.



Talks and Debates

As part of the open debate policy The Synergy Project aims to feature talks and debates relevant to many of the issues we feel are crucial to our day and age. These debates can also lead to self-critical reflection, considered by Synergy a vital element to avoid the ever present thread of stagnation or a veering of the declared ethical course.



Workshops and Interactivity

Bridging the gap between performers and the audience is one of the founding principles on which Synergy is built – this is achieved by:

Hosting various workshops per event – often dance or theatre based - Allowing for open mic sessions - Facilitating open drum circles - Allowing for participation in open debates - Providing stages for dance to take place spontaneously - Hosting processions that involve the participants creatively

Healing and Welfare

Offering a wide arrange alternative techniques such as Shiatsu, Reiki, Massage and Reflexology to name just a few, the healing area provides a space where people can enjoy relaxation and health/stress awareness therapies. Training workshops and information about alternative health practice and contacts with healers throughout the country are provided. Synergy also utilizes a large crew of welfare staff who's primary focus is to ensure that attendees have the best possible/safest of times.
